Van Halen--TOUR REHEARSAL--LA--FORUM--2/8/12--Roth Army Exclusive!

a friggin headset...!!!!!

Someone please tell him that is ridiculous.

[Mr Walker]

Now, now... It will enhance his ability to pull of his new dancing with the fucking stars moves...

Can someone mention to him that the hula dance thing might not be working

[Mr Walker]

It's still early worried folks. Just a rehearsal, no? Dave's acoustic runs all the way through Stay Frosty. Maybe, this show, they were making sure the headset gets a decent signal. I'm still holding out hope Frosty replaces ICM.

Stay Frosty sounds like it might not be easy to pull of live... but then again, I will no longer underrate Van Halen.

Funny thing about STAY FROSTY. 2 days since official release and it's already burned into the fans' minds & more memorable than ANY song from the other VH eras.

HAHA! PWND!

Outta Space would be a killer opening - 9 more long days

I think they only sing that to the people still in line after the last ticket is sold out.

[Hummarstra]

Dave seems to have some sort of pad beneath center stage. Could that be to accommodate his achy feet?

[Vinnie Velvet]

I take it Dave can't really jump anymore - not even a little hop off the drum riser steps? Even the roundhouse kick he was doing on the 07-08 tour is gone.

Eddie was doing his scissor kicks yet Dave just ends up standing there.

I understand that years of doing what he did has taken a toll on his body - but is Dave hurting? Back problems?

[Jagermeister]

I just read all 9 pages of this thread and I have to say it was pretty fucking hard to filter through every bodies BS and pull out the information that actually meant something.

I just deducted some of your rep power for being rude!




























Even though you made me laugh.

In a little more than a half a year, the guy turns 59. Most guys his age struggle to pick up the morning paper off the front porch.

[fourthcoming]

According to Romeo Delight...

Val is there...

Jon Lovitz...

and "someone from seinfeld..."

fucking Canadians...lmfao...

Lovitz should have joined Kool and the Gang onstage for his version of Ladies night ala The Wedding Singer

[clarathecarrot]

Fookk'n, Frakk'n, Incredibles !

Pojo, Va, RD, The Roth Army...ah yes,. and that little band from, Pasedena....Thanks!

[ELVIS]

I sure hope Dave loses the headset and homo dance by the time they get to New Orleans...

They sound good though...

[fourthcoming]

Not diggin' Dave with a headset but it's not that big a deal.....scrap the solos and give me more tunes!!!!! Scrap DTNA and give me AS IS!!!!!!.....fuck it...who am I kidding, I'm still gonna love the MSG shows in the big apple either way. Ed sounds bad ass.

[golitely]

Re. YRGM. Dave is not exactly known for remembering all the lyrics. Maybe it's one of the few songs imprinted on his brain that he can get at least 60% right.

[clarathecarrot]

I hope he dances like a freek show performer and wears a top hat the size of a volkswagon with a 10 ft wide disco ball coming out of the top on a 50ft flagpole.. lit by a lazer beam from planet woopidie doopidie doo.

..jeez doods lay off the, I hope, and you may find you can have agood time.

[vandeleur]

mmmm head set .. not sure but it worked ok there....EVh with a spare tire ... he must be happy

[vandeleur]

great quality vid tho

Same here all around. See ya on the 28th!

[Vinnie Velvet]

I am not digging the headset either.

I hope it was something Dave was just trying out.

Dave had back surgery a few years ago, so I'm sure he's going to try to not re-injure it and I don't blame him at all.

Thought so.

I completely understand.

[DavidLeeNatra]

he uses the pad to to the slides...hm...

the headseat is fucking gay...I was bashing Dave for using them in the beginning of 2007 for ICM! Jagger used them on the bigger bang tour...fuck them...it's vor Madonna, Lypsynchers and...well...Hagar...

[ELVIS]

And Ted Nugent, but at least Ted is playing guitar...

[perrin29]

They do sound damn good though. Maybe Dave will loosen up as the shows progress. Seems like is focusing more on dancing as opposed to the jumps. With all due respect, he is over 50 years old so that doesn't bother me really. Hoping the set list is a little longer cause I think it caps out at 15-16 songs.

[DavidLeeNatra]

it's stupid, because with a mic and a micstand you can hide a bit that you can't run and jump like you did in your prime...

[adena dodds]

Does that mean that he can't jump on me and my bones too? Nothing to fear I'll do all the work...even with a fractured rib on the ment after a year!

I could give two shits about Dave using a headset...that is not a very important issue on my list. As long as they sound good, he could use a Campbell's soup can and a string for all I care. These guys have delivered a kick ass album, given us fan sites more than we could ever hope for, and people are complaining. I don't get it.

[Hummarstra]

[Hummarstra]

Whatever happened to the spot light out front? I've noticed that modern tour lighting seems to not include spots anymore.

[ELVIS]

That would look 1000 times cooler...

[adena dodds]

I was wondering if I can borrow Daves tattoo of the sea horse on his ancle or was it on his foot? Naw...I'll take the foot instead. He has really nice hands and feet and everything else as far as I can see. I'd love a tattoo of Dave in the mirrior wearing the black leather chapps...but I hate needles, so I'll keep it framed on the wall for now and in my head when I'm in bed.

[vandeleur]

wolfies looking a million times more comfortable up there on the tattoo vid

He did at least one roundhouse kick the other night at the Henson Studios...didn't seem forced or strained at all...

[ELVIS]

Tattoo live is a bit underwhelming...
